[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1844971, member: 39347"] Just an update-after 3 1/2 months at a long-term “care” facility, and being able to see what was happening at night thanks to video monitoring for the past 6 weeks, we brought Mom home. We know her likelihood of being on this earth for any significant amount of time is low, but by God, no person should be treated like a piece of garbage for the time they have left. Especially someone who has lived a long life serving others. I will be contacting an ombudsman regarding some of the issues we saw, we had talked to administrators and nursing supervisors more times than we should have needed to. Thankfully no significant injuries, other than terrible deconditioning because the staff wasn’t “allowed to” stand her up for transfers in or out of bed. Dad is able to now go and do things he needs to get done, and caregivers 12 hours a day are so much better for individual care. Terrible what people have to endure at the end of their usefulness. Grateful we could get her home. [/QUOTE]
